Heat shock protein 90, an essential chaperone responsible for the correct maturation of key proteins, has been confirmed to facilitate Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) proliferation but the mechanism is not clear. In this study, we use quantitative proteomics analysis to investigate the mechanism of Hsp90 in BmNPV replication. In total, 195 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified with 136 up-regulated proteins and 59 down-regulated proteins. The protein expression level of small heat shock proteins, immune-related proteins, cellular DNA repair-related proteins and zinc finger proteins is significantly enhanced while that of protein kinases is declined. KEGG pathway analysis reveals that DEPs are involved in longevity regulating pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway and Toll and Imd signaling pathway. Based on the DEPs results, we speculate that inhibition of Hsp90 suppresses the BmNPV infection may because it could not only stimulate the host innate immune, induce small heat shock proteins expression to maintain the cellular proteostasis but activate host transcription factors to bind to virus DNA or protein and subsequently hinder virus replication. The results will help understand the roles of Hsp90 in BmNPV infection and shed light on new clue to illustrate the molecular mechanism of silkworm-virus interaction. SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first report on Hsp90 roles in BmNPV infection based on proteomic analysis. Our findings may provide new clue and research orientation to illustrate the molecular mechanism of silkworm-virus interaction and a set of BmHsp90 candidate clients, which may involve in BmNPV infection in BmN cells.

Baculovirus causes lethal nuclear polyhedrosis in insects, whereas its regulatory mechanism on host transcription has not been fully illustrated. Herein, Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection caused dephosphorylation and thus cytoplasmic-nucleo translocation of transcription factor EB (BmTFEB) by inhibiting Mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (MTORC1), while upregulating Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling to promote self-proliferation through the rival protein kinase 1 in Bombyx mori.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification on mRNA and plays critical roles in various biological processes including virus infection. It has been shown that m6A methylation is able to regulate virus proliferation and host innate immunity in mammals and plants, however, this antiviral defense in insects is largely unknown. Here we investigated function of m6A and its associated methyltransferases in nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection in silkworm.

Late expression factor 3 (LEF3), a multifunctional single-stranded DNA binding protein encoded by baculoviruses, is indispensable for viral DNA replication and plays a pivotal role in viral infection. Our previous quantitative analysis of phosphorylomics revealed that the phosphorylation levels of two serine residues (S8 and S25) located in LEF3 nuclear localization sequence were significantly up-regulated after Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection, but the underlying mechanism remained unknown. To investigate the impact of phosphorylation on BmNPV infection, site-direct mutagenesis was performed on LEF3 to obtain phosphorylated mimic (S/D) or dephosphorylated mimic (S/A) mutants.

  • The study investigated the impact of probiotic supplementation on the survival of Thai silkworm larvae infected with Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV).
  • Silkworms given the probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus showed a survival rate of 92% when exposed to BmNPV, compared to only 56% survival in those without supplementation.
  • Infected larvae that received probiotics exhibited better growth traits and economic characteristics, such as higher cocoon weight and shell weight, compared to those without the probiotics.
